The Anglo-Saxon Monk announces the release of the filmed version of Daisy Black's adaptation of the Bayeux Tapestry.

THINGS don't always move speedily here in my eleventh-century monastic world.  I have so many things to do, beloved, as I'm sure you can appreciate.

However, blessed readers, after weeks of saintly toiling and copious quantities of sweat that even King Harold himself would have been proud of, I take great pleasure in releasing the edited film version of The Stitches Speak, the dramatic adaptation of the Bayeux Tapestry written and directed by the intrepid Daisy Black, and performed in honour of Gale Owen-Crocker as a rehearsed reading at the 50th International Congress on Medieval Studies, held at Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA. 

So make yourself comfortable, gather your strange beverages and foods (someone please explain 'pop corn' to me), and simply click on the button below.  And I want no rude comments about a certain monk's 'Mersey Beat' wig!
